LyoVision™

An infrared camera and analysis software, sold as one system. See product temperature across the whole batch in real time, then replay, track, and export every run.

Two LyoVision cameras: one showing the top with the LyoVision logo and ethernet port, one showing the sanitary flange and germanium window

The system

Two parts, one package

Every LyoVision™ system includes the camera and the software. Neither is an add-on, and neither works as well alone.

The camera

Sees the whole batch at once

A compact long-wave infrared camera with a precision germanium optic, imaging through the viewport without touching the product.

  • 320 × 256 px resolution, 30 mK sensitivity
  • 30°, 50°, or 90° field of view
  • Any 3- or 4-inch sanitary port, CIP/SIP compatible, one PoE cable
LyoVision software live view with a spot, a line, and a box ROI, each showing temperature readings
The software

Turns images into process data

Live thermal view with spot, line, and box measurements, live temperature tracking, and timelapse replay of every run, ready for analysis or export.

  • Spot, line, and box ROIs with live min, max, and average
  • Live temperature tracking for every ROI
  • Replay runs, add ROIs after logging, and export
Together

Every frame, matched to its data

Synced replay plays the camera's thermal view beside the software's temperature chart, so you can scrub to any moment in a run and see exactly what the product looked like.

Capabilities

What the system does

LyoVision software display settings with colormap, auto, manual, and ROI-locked scaling
01 · See

Watch the whole batch, not one probe

Camera

Germanium optic images many vials or a full vessel through the viewport.

Software

Live thermal view with selectable colormaps and auto, manual, or ROI-locked scaling.

Thermal image of vials with two spot readings at -26.3°C and -14.8°C
02 · Measure

Put numbers on what you see

Camera

±2°C accuracy down to -40°C.

Software

Draw spot, line, and box ROIs anywhere in the frame and track min, max, and average over time.

Thermal timelapse of five bottles during a cake lift eventCake lift, captured in real time
03 · Catch

Catch events as they happen

Camera

Continuous full-field imaging across the whole cycle.

Software

Timelapse logging at intervals you set, with replay and export, so events like cake lift are on record.

LyoWave RF source unit, where IR-guided control runs
04 · Control

Close the loop

Camera

Supplies the product temperature signal for IR-guided control on the RF source.

Software

Monitors and logs TurboDry™ RF source telemetry alongside the thermal data.

Applications

Two ways teams use it

Freeze-drying and thawing

  • Spatially resolved product temperature in real time
  • Datasets for process development and monitoring
  • Closed-loop control with TurboDry™ and TurboThaw™

Facility diagnostics

  • Monitor key infrastructure during operation
  • Catch equipment issues before they cause downtime
